Our site supervisor advised us if we wanted to change anything or add anything during the build he would put us in touch with the different trades as if he got involved there would be the variation charges - maybe an option for you???

Thanks Dougang. Unfortunately my first two requests to do with moving the hot water system and db were a no, and so they have gone ahead now and poured the slab for the hw system. I wanted to swap the db to the garage wall (opposite side of house) but when I couldn't get that I asked to shift it slightly on the wall it's going on (will talk to electrician about that when I meet them). After all with electrical plans they're fairly diagrammatic. My sales consultant said the position was approximate and Clipsal said it's pretty loose as it's a symbol on a plan.
To swapping out my rangehood I got told no (and for modifying an overhead cupboard). They have a lot of time before those were needed on site and they admitted it would be better for the cabinet maker to make them all together but I still got a no. So I'm going to retrofit a cabinet after handover

I was even happy to pay a variation fee but they just didn't want to change the drawings.

Following on!! It's all happening fast. Love the selections. It's a bit sad that they won't budge on a variation but keep up the good work can't wait to see the rest come together.

Now for some hopefully helpful info for builds in seq/going through varsity lakes mychoice centre.

Ceasarstone ranges:
Standard as of dec 16 was:
Linen, Urban, Walnut, osprey, ice snow, nougat, almond rocca, night sky, ivory

Standard as of now: linen, walnut, nougat, almond Rocca, night sky, ivory

But for a little while in the transition period they will let you pick the other colours that were upgraded at no extra charge.

Urban, ice snow and osprey have been upgraded to deluxe.

I got quoted on the day to upgrade my 4sqm of 20mm ceasarstone to Oyster in the deluxe range which was $587.

I also found out that Georgian bluffs and Bianco drift that I had my eye on are in the supernatural range and that was astronomically higher in price. In the order of $3200 to upgrade for the same bench!

Hopefully some of the pics I took of the ceasarstone wall are clear enough to see some of the range or you might recognise a colour you're interested in!

Thank you so much for doing this! I can't wait for our colour appointment and this was all so helpful ☺

Do you know how much it was to upgrade your garage door to the wood look Knotwood range? We are thinking of doing Tassie Oak... if budget allows ☺

Hey StephLee glad you found the info - I haven't been on for a couple of weeks. The garage door was one of the more expensive upgrades but everytime I drive past a house with it Im really glad I chose it.

Here's some proper in-focus photos without lego-tradie.

Really happy with colorbond Wallaby. Is definitely a mid-grey. Looks very light in the overcast weather we've had but nice and grey on sunny days.

Front door. Not stained yet (will be a darker colour like merbau).

Noticed a number of rips/tears in the csr Bradford thermoseal. The tear beneath the word "homes" is about 50mm diameter. Not acceptable as this is the only moisture barrier for condensation to stop mould and mildew forming on the plasterboard inside the wall cavity and also preventing the frame from becoming damp and rotting. Asked site supervisor to make sure it is patched accordingly to csr's guidelines and got advice from the csr rep so will see what happens.

Met with electrician on site today. Really
nice company Brett Morgan Electrical from Caloundra. My lighting plan was mostly ok, just added some external power points that I'd been meaning to do and a couple of other small things.

Coming along so quickly, so exciting! Love your roof! Great eye for detail noticing the tear

I guess we have to be on it at all times !
